The Virginia Lottery has released its report on casino gaming activity for the month of June 2023.  In addition to HR Bristol and Rivers Casino Portsmouth, gaming activity also includes the first full month for Virginia’s newest casino, Caesars Virginia.

During June, gaming revenues from Virginia casinos totaled $52.2 million.  Virginia law assesses a graduated tax on a casino’s AGR, or wagers minus winnings, and $9.4 million in taxes were paid to the Gaming Proceeds Fund.

In June Caesars Virginia brought in just under $19 million in total revenue. Over $14.3 million came from slots and and over $4.5 million came from table games. Of the three casinos in Virginia, Caesars Virginia brought in the second  most money, just behind Rivers Casino Portsmouth at just over $20.5 million.
